Bartter's syndrome is a E synthesis in causing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus must remain speculative at this time. If it does play a role, the effect is more complicated than simple antagonism to the hydro-osmotic effect of antidiuretic hormone. It is interesting that in 2 clinical situations associated with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, i.e., K depletion and Li administration, an increase in urinary PGE excretion occurs.
